Good looking basic no frills battle rifle. I got a kick out of the safety/selector lever settings. If you don't mind my asking (total novice on building your own here), how much did it all set you back?

The lower was a special (I got a real low # out of the 100 made). I paid 125 for the lower. The upper and parts kit was from Model 1 sales. 611 delivered. So I'm into it for 736. I probably could have saved maybe 50 bucks If i got a no frills lower. But these were a special run just for a .org i belong to.

yes it is a no frills basic rifle. I couldn't see dropping on all the rails,lights,switches etc. Instead I went with the chrome line barrel and chamber and the chromed Bolt Carrier Group.

I went with the 20" HBAR but this thing is now nose heavy for the rifle sight radius. Where as the carbine has a shorter sight radius, and well, every little bit is gonna help. But now that I have a completed lower, i can pick up different uppers for different situations, but I'm good with the one i got.

The "basic no frills battle rifle" quote was in no way meant to be a put down. I like the NOD you obtained as well. Nothing like being able to see in the dark! Excellent package!
